Researchers led by a team from Griffith University in Australia have developed a multifunctional polymer binder that not only maintains the outstanding binding capabilities of sodium alginate but also enhances the mechanical integrity and lithium-ion diffusion coefficient in a LiFePO 4 (LFP) electrode during the operation of the batteries.

The area, said to be the driest region on earth, has long been a premier source of sodium nitrate, or saltpeter. A nearby chemical plant processes the slurry into lithium carbonate powder suitable for making batteries for automotive propulsion. A little sun, plus some oxygen and water, is enough to keep a plant going strong.

Uranium in nuclear fuel rods is in a chemical form that is “pretty insoluble” in water, said Professor Alexandra Navrotsky, UC Davis, corresponding author on the paper, unless the uranium is oxidized to uranium-VI—a process that can be facilitated when radiation converts water into peroxide, a powerful oxidizing agent.

A new study by a team from Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering has found that even large increases in lithium prices are unlikely to increase significantly the cost of batteries or battery packs for end users such as vehicle manufactures or consumers—although some manufacturers may see reduced profit margins.

To maximize the benefit of the open structure, the researchers needed to use ions that fit; hydrated potassium ions proved to be a much better fit compared with other hydrated ions such as sodium and lithium. The researchers chose to use a water-based electrolyte. It fits perfectly— really, really nicely. —Yi Cui.
